162
Q

Describe the full mechanism of vision?

A

photoreceptor

opsin + retinal

the dissociation of retinal from opsin causes the membrane to change the permeability

this results in the potential difference in photorecptor cells

this siganl produces action potential in the photoreceptor

this signal is transmited to the optical neve through the bipolar neuron

then the signal is transmitted to the visual cortex of the brain

where this siganl is interpreted

opsin + retinal
